Chapter 681 A Glimmer Of Hope

As Nan Zhengde made his way to the door of the study room, he turned around and saw that Nan Chen was still sitting there with a blank expression. Nan Chen was constantly under a lot of pressure, so it pained Nan Zhengde to see him stressed out like that.

He then made his way back toward Nan Chen and said, “We won’t talk about how the grudge between our family and the Rong family started, but I was indeed the one who defeated them back then. They were driven out of Flower City for many years because of that. Try putting yourself in their shoes and ask yourself if you’d be able to let it go that easily. Grudges like these are incredibly difficult to let go of, so there’s no point in talking about it.”

Nan Chen held his grandfather’s hand and sat him down on the chair as he said, “I don’t know what you did to the Rong family back then, but I believe you were in the right. You’re not the kind of person who would resort to ruthless methods unless you were forced to. I’m sure they must’ve done something horrible for you to kick them out of Flower City—”

“I didn’t kick them out of Flower City. They chose to move out themselves,” Nan Zhengde corrected him.

“All right, I believe you, Grandpa. I simply want to know the truth about what happened, that’s all. When I was a child, you often told me that benefits come before friendships. I want to know if the grudge between us and the Rong family can be resolved if we provide them with some benefits,” Nan Chen said. “You mean you want to make peace with the Rong family?”

“That, or to at least get them to leave us alone. The alliance between the Ouyang family and the Rong family poses a huge threat to us. Now, I’m not doing this because I’m afraid of them or anything. I simply don’t want to spend too much time and money fending off their attacks.

You know how costly it can be to deal with attacks from two powerful families, right? It’d hamper Nanshi Corporation’s development tremendously. Wouldn’t it be better if we could all stop fighting each other and just focus on developing our businesses instead?” Nan Chen explained.

Nan Zhengde patted him on the shoulder and complimented him once again, “I like the way you think, Chen. You possess incredible wisdom. As a matter of fact, you’re much wiser than I was back then. When I was your age, I kept charging forward without stopping to think about my actions.

While it may be fun to destroy and dominate others, the true challenge lies in protecting what you have. Because I failed to understand this simple concept, I went overboard in my conquest and ended up causing Nanshi Corporation a lot of problems many years down the line. It’s good to see that you’re doing a lot better than I did, Chen! I’m very proud of you!”

There was a hint of anxiety in Nan Chen’s eyes as he said, “Please don’t say that, Grandpa. You worked hard to build the foundation for Nanshi Corporation. I’m simply just protecting what you created and reaping what you sowed. I don’t want your hard work to go to waste in my hands. That’s why I decided to discuss this with you.”

“I know, but I believe there is no possibility of us working with the Rong family, so you need to give up on that idea. All you have to do right now is focus on hitting them where it hurts most.

Ouyang Li has recently risen to power after Ouyang Duo died, so it’s understandable that she would want to try and prove herself. However, she is no match for you, and her position at Sunshine Corporation isn’t exactly stable.
